PG Carl Nicks seen here with college teammate and New York playground legend Lawrence "of Flavia" Bird
Playing card unfortunately riddled with spelling errors and typos:
Career high is 63, not 47
joined Knicks, not Jazz
should say "carrying the oft injured and socially awkward", not "playing in the shadow of"
Milwaukee Bucks (3029-3030)
New York Knicks (3031-3040)
At a Glance
-Retires as the all time Knicks leader in Win Shares, points, assists, Player of the Week awards
-Holds Knicks single game records for points, field goals made, but not field goals attempted, because he's not a selfish Communist
-Only Knick to ever win Player of the Month honors
-Natural point guard, seamlessly transitioned to shooting guard to accommodate Darrick Martin
-As athleticism waned, looked me in the eye and said "Executive General Manager Dolan, sir, I just can't keep up with these young bloods. We need a new starting point guard, take a look at that young Butch in Golden State."
-I says to him I says "Don't ever tell me how to do my job. My dad owns a dealership." Then I shook his hand and made the trade
-That's just the kind of player he is
-That's just the kind of man he is
-Yes as a Knick
